NASA Pumpkin Carving Competition
NASA's pumpkin carving competition is the highest-tech display of squash sculpting in the world. NASA provides the pumpkins, and their engineers provide the ingenuity — everything from a UFO beaming up cows to Darth Vader in a pumpkin meditation chamber are on display. The rules are simple: Engineers can see and measure their pumpkin, but can't touch it until the day of the show, where they have one hour to create a masterpiece.
