1. It got better after they got the audio going.

I wish nasa had more help with their broadcasts, better cameras, etc.

3. it's barely even loading on my pc, too laggy

5. Stream working now, how do they know how fast it's going?

Google says that it takes 30-50 minutes for a radio signal from Jupiter to reach Earth

7. The mission is programmed

So they probably know what should be happening.

4. Nice, watching now.

6. Juno is now pulling away from Jupiter

It got within 2800 miles. The bad news is that the science instruments are turned off. They will be turned on for the second pass in 53 days.

8. Success! The burn was successful at correcting its entry

They wanted to have the spacecraft slow so as to get it set into a 53-day orbit of Jupiter.
