I discoverer that it's an independent film project by Douglas Monce -- and I'm experiencing some highly inappropriate thoughts right now. 
I won't say this is serious science fiction, but my initial reaction wasn't to bust out laughing, no siree. 
It's being made by Atomic Age Pictures, who does retro photos and videos. Here's four short YouTube videos of tests for Space Rangers and a teaser trailer that's worth watching.

And if you want to contribute to this independent production, here's the official site where you can do so.
The opening of the video on that site does a clever tribune to 1950s sci-fi. It starts out just like The Mole People, using the music from the 1956 movie, as the scene fades in on Douglas Monce (the creator and director) sitting behind a desk in front of a bookshelf. He introduces himself and starts talking about the Space Ranger production.
I realized right away that it was a clever parody of Dr. Frank Baxter (host of the Bell Telephone science series from the 1950s), and the mini-lecture Dr. Baxter gave at the beginning of The Mole People.
Universal sci-fi music is used all throughout the video. These folks are our folks, folks! I'm looking forward to Space Rangers!

The attempted fundraising ended on December 11, reaching only 36% of their goal.

Oh, right! She IS wearing a helmet! 
I'm sorry, I was focusing my attention on the semi-spherical shape a bit lower done.
