The Stardust Project was NASA's effort to collect data from distant comets, although it later turned into a model to predict how much fuel a spacecraft really uses - hopefully paving the way for more controlled spaceships in the future. I have no idea why the artist drew several things labeled as such, but it is possible that he was trying to depict through his art the expectations that mankind has come to expect from the stars.
Alternatively he thought it was a cool title to post behind sum hawt sci-fi chicks, amirite?
