This competition is that NASA engineers make Jack O Lanterns full of personality using time other than work, pears and prizes are not pears even if they win. The purpose of the tournament is simple, the victory is "get the right to brag", and the rule is stipulated that "planning, designing, producing, and finishing are all done outside of work hours". Normally it is just Jack O Lantern that JPL's brains gather for "rocket scientists", so their concept and performance are exactly NASA quality.

The finished form of the above work is kore. It is Jupiter that is visible over there, and that which is the stage of the diorama is Europa which is the second satellite of Jupiter. By the way, the right Jack O. Lantern which the drill is piercing is said to be the winning work of 2017.
