I’d imagine it’s Photon/the kick stage that provides that accuracy, rather than Electron itself. Kerolox is not known for its ability to consistently provide very small amounts of impulse, as far as I’m aware.

I think they are going to try a recovery, too.

They say they get more time to prepare for helicopter recovery so that is very likely. 
Now what is an out of family sensor reading? 
Only thing I can think of is an sensor giving an different result than the others while still being in bound. Say two pressure sensors reports 200 and 201 bar and the 3rd says 150. who is still ok but is obviously wrong.

Liftoff

Watching the cows converge during liftoff was cool.

Watching the blackbody emissions bloom as second stage kicks off is always one of my favorite things.

That was a really well done launch video.  Thanks @tater!

I've gotten in minor trouble twice for watching rocket launches during the class I have during this... 

(I'll be discreet about it :D)

Have you tried suggesting that they don't schedule classes during rocket launches?

This is that video un- (or less, at least) cropped. And as to the question @rocketrundown asked, I very much doubt a camera is moving at all to capture that, rather we're seeing a small section of a taller video being scanned across after-the-fact.
