Mod IDEA: Better / More Realistic Life/Morale Support Mod

So, both Kerbalism and TAC add realistic life support and Kerbalism adds other stuff, too, but Kerbalism doesn't have one aspect of real life support: It doesn't include water. And TAC doesn't include morale and failures and stuff. So I thought I should make a mod that has ALL features of real life/morale support, and I will make it if you guys want.

Planned Features:

-To stay alive, Kerbals need Snacks, Water, and Oxygen.

-Kerbals produce Carbon Dioxide, "Number One", and "Number Two".

-Kerbals need to be kept happy: give them Wi-Fi and Skype with their families/friends back on Kerbin to keep them happy.

-Kerbals need to be physically fit to do EVAs and other dangerous tasks, long periods in Zero-Gee will reduce their fitness.

-Parts/Modules to give them all of their needs 

Planned Parts:

-CO2 Scrubber: Removes Carbon Dioxide from the internal atmosphere, but does not produce Oxygen.

-Water Purifier: Filters out clean water from "Number One".

-Hydroponics: Takes a Fertilizer resource and produces a Crops resource. Plants growing in Hydroponics will convert Carbon Dioxide into Oxygen as they perform photosynthesis.

-Composter: Composts "Number Two" into Fertilizer.

-Centrifuge: Provides artificial gravity to crew.

-Zero-Gee Gym: Kerbals in Zero-Gee can exercise here.

-Ultra-Fast Antenna: Gives Kerbals Internet and Skype connections, but cannot be used to transmit Science.

-Kitchen: Any Kerbal can cook Crops into Snacks here.

-Space Toilet: You know...

I think that the triad USI-LS, MKS and Kerbalism works well for life support & life quality. However, I would love to have some real-life parts for space stations like treadmills, exercise bike, food heater, toilets, shower, sleeping areas, rest area.

Knock yourself out my only suggestion is that you make a mod that YOU want. Most modders make something they want in game. If it isn't something you want you risk burnout. 

Second thing would be keeping an eye for interoperability. For better or worse most people don't use a life support mod alone anymore. They like to pair it with mods like @RoverDude MKS or @Angel-125 pathfinder mod. 

Also imo water is overrated :P

Ergh, there was a mod which made you need exercise areas, but I forget the name of it. It worked with another LS mod for the keeping-alive part.

Edit:

The no-science antenna is a daft idea, otherwise if you use KF + USI or perhaps Kerbalism ( which I know next to nothing about ) you've covered practically everything in your list. The biggest problem with LS mods is people all have different ideas of penalties.

KeepFit reminded me how amused I was at Musk's idea of a 6g Mars re-entry after 6 months of zero-g, for random ticket-payers...
