    Yes it is! Hadn't watched any launch in-person either.
    (To be honest, most spacecraft launches I've watched were either
    from news or from documentaries; hadn't watched any launch live,
    as far as I remembered)

    Cheers,

    Yeah! That's the one.

    Is it a bird, is it a plane?

    Does this happen to be a reference of something in the lyrics
    of Five For Fighting's song, "Superman (It's Not Easy)"? [1]

    Cheers,
    ~xwindows


    [1] Because from what I remembered [2], the second verse sung:

    I'm more than a bird~, I'm more than a plane~;
    More than some... pretty face beside a train.
    It's not easy to be~ me.

    [2] Someone had pointed out to me that the song was,
    in turn, referencing something said in-story: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0044231/characters/nm0447930
    but I have no idea of its context at all.

    I wish it were that recent. No, the "Is it a..." slogan was burned into
    my memory from reading Superman comics more decades ago than I want to
    say.

    Thanks for the puzzles, keep them coming.
