There's this ET jack-o-lantern, complete with bicycle, Reese's Pieces, and multiple Elliotts: This Dia de los Muertos ofrenda commemorated JPL space missions past: There was this guitar-strumming, pumpkin-headed skeleton: And a 3D model of a jack-o-lantern, for which no live pumpkins were harmed: Engineers constructed plenty of interactive, nerdy-ass displays like this one, where a participant had to push a lever to try to meet the exact shock specifications of the pumpkin: Or this one, where you had to guess the mass of the pumpkin using science and math (the equations on the pumpkins, I imagine, are there to help): A planetary sample acquisition submarine pumpkin was placed on Europa (one of Jupiter's moons) where it drilled into the team's winning pumpkin design from last year: Another Europa pumpkin was equipped with a counter adding up signs of life: But my personal favorite had to be the jousting battlebot pumpkins, because who doesn't love a good battlebot: Happy Halloween, from one group of nerds to another!
