General question: As we're waiting for the 2nd burn of the 2nd stage, the animation is showing the vehicle angled down (relative to the horizon). Am I seeing this correctly?

Given how flaky the animation has been tonight it's hard to say if the vehicle is actually doing what it shows. Of course the launch team knows what's really going on.

The upper stage and S/C are usually rotated in attitude during coast phases for thermal reasons

But that's usually a roll, not a pitch maneuver right?
