gravity boost for speed?
From what my poor, limited brain can grasp, the dip is barely noticeable really, it’s a regular arc, but I believe that the slight drop in altitude is down to the lack of propulsion at that stage, between main stage shutdown and second stage ignition, it shows more on the graphic, but the scale is highly compressed there. In reality it’s a very slight flattening of the launch trajectory arc. It’s the coasting stage, IIRC.
I think that’s the actual situation.
Whatever, watching the launch live was really gripping, I never saw the first moon launch, I was on holiday in South Devon with my parents in a touring caravan, the caravan site had a clubhouse with a telly, but I was still at school and too young to go into the bar to watch it. 😕
