Consider any of the following events. A meteorite has fallen on the expedition outpost, shattering the main battery array beyond hope of repair. A crane line snaps while moving heavy equipment, mangling an astronaut’s leg. A gap in the insulation of a cryogenic tank causes an explosion, destroying the main communication system. There is no hope of a fix, the mission must be aborted and the crew evacuated.
