In order to make obvious the connections between the station and human we need to link them physically,the one we are interested the most are the air, urine (piss) and feces (shit) managment. I made some researches and found some good existing products for breathing system:

Even a baby can tolerate such an “invasive” apparel, the people in the station could as well, but reduces the mobility. Now about Urine:

For the urine and feces I found this amazing ressource: Urine and Bowel Management for children with Spinal Cord Injury and Spina Bifida, Copyright © 1987 by David Werner for the Hesperian Foundation, “Disabled Village Children” project.

Also truck drivers have some sort of solution to that problem, in a truck driver style, hahaha!

We learn how to use a catheter or how to make one ourself the DIY way. The urinary is not that difficult, but the system for feces as it is semi-solid is more challenging…

I found this type of equipment searching for bowel managment. The process depends a lot on the quality of the human feces, according to the Bristol Chart below.
