The home connector is a wearable communications device that connects space travelers with their home.  It provides sensory connection to distant locations by recreating or transmitting signals in multiple senses:  smell, taste, sound & sight.  The connector functions in several modes - real time communication with people at home or virtual, non-real time “visits” to home.  The connector is worn on the body; there are several ways to wear it as a necklace, earring, on the arm, the head or foot.  Humans have sensory stimulation devices that interact with the connector.
