Sophmore Internship - NASA or F500 Defense

Sophmore at a Non Target in the South East. I've got 2 offers right now. One is for an Internship at NASA in an Analyst/ Audit position, the other is in Program Finance at a F500 Defense company. I'm having a hard time deciding which to accept.

I want to work in IB, so I feel like the Defense firm would give me some corporate experience. Especially since the industry has a shit ton of M&A deals, however, it's not really a good role. Meanwhile, NASA I feel like would look great on my resume (It's NASA), and would help more with non- Finance jobs.
