Browne hailed the project as a heroic engineering achievement, just as groundbreaking in its day as were Prudhoe Bay and the Trans-Alaskan pipeline 30 years ago.
Braun je ocenio projekat kao ogromno inženjersko ostvarenje, jednako napredno za svoje vreme kao što su pre 30 godina bili naftovodi Prudo Bej i Trans-Aljaska.
