Yes.. NASA has an overhead and much more staff to support. Innovation and Research is not cheap. To the credit of SpaceX, they managed to lower the launch cost drastically by reusing the launch rocket. So with the Falcon 9 they brought the cost to just $ 2700 from five figures before.
Yes... Even the Curiosity Rover had the same power unit. The technology isn't new at all. Similar power units were used by NASA in spacecraft that flew to the outer planets. eg Pluto

not the same. they constantly research and improve existing technologies, parana rover land karaddi accuracy eka nikan colombo district eke size. kothana land wela yaida kiyanna danne na. dan pinpoint accuracy eken land karanna puluwan, oya ingenuity kiyala helicopter ekak yawala mun karanne earth walin pita helicopter yawanna saha hadanna igenaganna eka. oken ganna learning outcome eken issarahata Titan walata yawanawa sole mission ekak Dragonfly kiyala nuclear drone ekak, eka nail karai lassanata mun meken ganna exp and karana research and simulations ekka
yeah i know it works by seebeck effect and by design improvement i didn't mean that they move away from the first principal to nuclear fission or something in the 2nd one. you dont have a clear idea on what design improvement means. this is not the 2nd production unit of the same design. they should probably have changed and improved it learning on curiosity. same technology does not mean same design. even the body design is the same principal as curiosity. but they have done thousands of new simulations and design improvements to change tyre designs by learning on the mistakes on curiosity. by your logic, engines of ford model T and Toyota Premio is the same
