Notice none of the girls are veiled, in fact the entire text is without any religious connotation.
Space can be a cultural catalyst changing ideas now, here, on Earth.
Thanks to Dwayne Day from Space Review for this find.

Chogrin (Joseph Game), the project organizer, had this to say, “Our Space program has been on hold for almost 30 years. Our last steps on the moon were in 1972. As a generation I feel, we should aim for more and achieve almost anything as many aspired to do much strongly decades ago. Anyways I just wanted to share this with you, for I feel it is important for us, our future, and our survival. With our art and visions we could inspire ourselves & future generations to go beyond anything we can imagine.” “This animation was inspired by reading many books by Robert Zubrin, specifically, The Case for Mars, which contains a beautiful quote by Italian Philosopher Giordano Bruno. And so inspired by these great ideas and dreams of someday terraforming Mars and making it our second home, I made a short video, using my Illustration and the beautiful track, “108 the boat”, by the amazing Ambassador Etc.” Chogrin
