I was using a few shots of the previous parts of the mission to set context. I believe that I either edited in a clip from testing or from later recreation. However, given the time since this video, it is possible that I accidentally left infinite fuel on during the mission itself and didn't notice the error. The overall mission and delta-V margins remain sound. Regardless, I sincerely apologize for the error.
