[GreenKeys] Model 35

Same opinion for me, Tony.

Remember that this is the modern day government we are talking about. Multiple governments for multiple countries. There is no such thing as a $2.00 bag of tie wraps. $200. :-)

My guess is the messy appearance is magnified due to lack of gravity. Just look at her hair. Is it messy? Depends on your view. Even if she braided it, the braid would stick out.

There is one point in the video where you see some papers "hanging" on a wall under a clip. Except they don't "hang", they bow outwards because of no gravity. On earth, that solution would be very neat. The only approach to make it neat there would be to clip all four corners with fixed clips. That would be four times the expense. If might even be hard to get loose papers lined up neatly to put under four clips. You can't just bang them on a desk like we do here.

Then we have the concept that all six sides of a cube are completely usable. On earth, only four sides are usable. So what looks like a crowded floor is not a floor at all. There are no floors.

Must be strange to be there.  This is an interesting problem.
