The Reality of Apollo / Re: Apollo EVA suit development cost.

That comes to about $17 million in today's dollars for 25 block I suits (and an unspecified number of block IIs). However at least 105 A7L suits were made so this would amount to about $70 million in today's terms. Still cheaper than current suits.
