In Halo 1...

 when the Chief and Cortana blow up the Pillar of Autumn, shouldn't the section of the ring that gets blown off move away from the ring?

Sort of! That is, the ring is in orbit around a planet, while the orbit may deteriorate, it seems unlikely that the Pillar of Autumn would change the ring's momentum enough to fly off somewhere else. At least not right away.
