When you add up people’s time to design and test, absolutely. Could have crossed $100,000 and it would be a teaspnable cost. Wouldn’t want to half ass a space poop bag.
This how it works in any business, R&D is high but businesses tend to spead that cost out per item when massproducted. One off or limited uses are always far more than mass production.
Spend tens of billions.
Poop in a bag.
Poop in a space bag.
And that bag cost tens of thousands of dollars to design!

Well, you didn’t think they spent $10,000 on a hammer, $20,000 on a toilet seat?
