Minotaur blasting off on Tuesday evening.
United States Air Force Minotaur I rocket launch on Tuesday night at 8:15 p.m. attracted crowds throughout Levittown and on social media.
Approximately two dozen or so people were at the Bristol Wharf to view the rockets red glare as they counted down to blast off as well throughout Bristol Lions Park.

Posters on the LevittowNow.com Facebook page ranged from Brsitol Township to Falls and a host of points throughout the area as a myriad reported what they observed during the countdown and launch of the rocket with its payload of satellites.
Ron Roberts, who freely submits images and video to the online news source did so once again last night.
One of the highlights of the watching event was a little girl in a pink hooded jacket saying to her mother, ‘mommy where is the rocketman in the rocket?” she asked innocently as those around the curiosity craved child laughed.
