The reason guys are concerned about side effects and long lasting effects is that currently there is a reliable, low cost male birth control technology with no long lasting side effects and only mild discomfort during use which we have over a thousand years of experience with

The condom

Male birth control needs to be more effective and have fewer downsides than condoms to be adopted as a wide spread solution.

They totally can. If you miss a flight in any stage of a round trip they cancel all remaining segments and you get no refund

The median time to recovery was 196 days. Out of 729 participants who completed the efficacy phase and recovery period, and out of 97 participants who discontinued early but completed the follow-up visits during the recovery period, spermatogenesis recovered in all but 17 participants, and 15 of those 17 returned to normal reference levels at an extra 3-month follow up visit. 2 men did not recover at the end of 18 months

I feel like this is far far too long to make this actually useful and will really hinder adoption.

You want to start a family? Great! It'll be about 18 months until you're back to normal levels and can get her pregnant, butttt it could happen anytime before then! Good luck planning for that!

I think this is where something like Vasegel is going to prove far superior to hormonal treatments. Everything about it seems just far more straight forward than futzing with hormones and hoping you didn't break something.

You say it expands 560% when unfolded. How does that compare to something like that Bigelowe BEAM that's currently connected to the ISS? Does your module provide a better expansion ratio than their proposed B330?
