How to renege for internship

Iโ€™m accepting an offer at NASA, but I already commit to a different (not so large) company in November. Small company pays more, but NASA is NASA and it will be really good experience (and for my resume๐Ÿ˜‹) + NASA has a cooler project involving AI. How should I renege the small company? Should I tell them about NASA or that I got a better offer? Here are some considerations: - small company recruiter and senior developer connected with me on LinkedIn - recruiter and I have chat on the phone many times just to clarify details and we have a casual open line of communication - both roles are remote, but small company was originally in-person just switched a few weeks ago (they asked for my preference) #swe #internship

Just tell them that an opportunity of life time has been presented to you and canโ€™t let it pass. Thank them for their time and apologize. They wonโ€™t remember you in a year but you would always regret a chance to work for NASA.

Just take NASA. Itโ€™s an interesting experience.
