Space shit is expensive but I am impressed how they can request multiple billions for what amounts to rovers with arms and a rocket. A simple hypergolic system should be enough for mars surface to LMO. Maybe I grossly underestimate how expensive it all should be, but there's just no reason you couldn't get this entire mission done (a few lbs of return material) for more than 1.5billion total. The right side of this image could account for the spending of 25%+ of their budget
