     COMMENTS: Hugs and Flagellation

There was a hug 214 miles above Earth that attracted coverage from ABC's David Muir and CBS' Kimberly Dozier. It was between a pair of spacewomen in the International Space Station: to be precise "the embrace of two women in charge," as Dozier put it. Space Shuttle Discovery commander Pamela Melroy is "a self-described military brat," according to ABC's Muir; "a former USAF test pilot who flew combat missions in Iraq," per Dozier. Space Station commander Peggy Whitson has "roots on an Iowa farm," says Muir; is "a Russian-speaking biochemist" and a "renowned space jock who can out-leg-press the guys," offers Dozier.

Dozier showed the better clip: when Whitson took command before her Soyuz launch, she was awarded a formal symbol of her authority over her crew--a whip.
