Lots of fun and important science questions.
I think you're pretty early to be deciding, but bioengineering is a great tie into space medicine.
When the time comes to think about 4th year rotations, take a look at this one if it is still around:

Aerospace medicine is actually pretty boring in practice- you're mostly doing pre-flight physicals for pilots and astronauts. If we start doing more space travel and such, the field could gain in importance, but that's going to be a looooooong way off.
It's boring now.... Give it 15 years, when I'm actually going to be practicing. I hear a lot of colonization efforts are starting soon after that.
They've been saying that for decades. I wouldn't count on it.
As one who had family employed by NASA and who follows the space industry a little more closely than the general public, I have to seriously ask (especially regarding space colonization):
Are you for real?

If I can go into space, sign me up. I'd still want to do it even if it were going to be a one way trip.
