What the coverage shows

Both Reuters and the Associated Press frame the story as live coverage of the Crew-12 departure from the International Space Station, and both name the same four crew members in their extracts. The AP stands out for publishing two separate live items, one focused on the hatch closing and one on the undocking, while Reuters uses a single broad headline about the astronauts departing.
