"Some men just dream of doing great
things with their lives. Others tried to accomplish goals and have failed. Then
there are the men like Bob Rosenthal who have managed to accomplish many triumphs.
From Passaic to the Moon is a
book filled with the dreams and triumphs of an engineer. It shows us how one man
can make a difference in what he does with his life that can affect all of us
in one form or another. I was very impressed with the fact that he had a hand
in one of our country's outstanding accomplishments, sending a man to the moon.
Mr. Rosenthal's writing is filled with
charm and wit. He also has the ability to add special effects to make one laugh.
This is a book that one would really enjoy. I have walked away with a better understanding
of what an engineer does and how their decisions affect all of us."

"From
Passaic to the Moon is a joyous verbal romp. Bob Rosenthal entertains us with
his wit, bravado and incredible Chutzpah. Through his wonderful descriptions we
peer into the glorious days when the United States swept the great minds of our
times into the development of the space program. Rosenthal shows us with honest
simplicity, in words the layman can understand, how such companies as Douglas,
Grumman and Fairchild operated. Even when working beside the great Wernher von
Braun, he doesn't take himself too seriously. This book is not a self-serving
tribute to the author and his undisputed contributions as a talented aerospace
engineer. Instead it is a story of a man who has the courage to laugh at poor
decisions, and to forge ahead with bravado. To the aspiring business person, I
say read and learn. To the layman who simply wants a great read, I say enjoy.
It is well worth your time."
