What the coverage shows
Reuters and 60 Minutes both centre on the launch of a four-member, multinational crew heading to the ISS, and both note that the mission is a six-month stay aboard the orbiting lab. Reuters alone foregrounds the crew mix by naming the two US astronauts, a Canadian astronaut and a Russian cosmonaut, while 60 Minutes alone says the flight is meant to replace the 12-astronaut crew that has been there since February.
