Biomedical Engineer and Mechanical Engineer, Double Major, Is it doable?

I might be consider of double majoring in biomedical and mechanical because one, I want to build a hybrid cars (I always thought it was pretty cool), 2nd, I always want to help people to improve their lives maybe like making drugs or building a medical machine, and 3rd, my dream is working for NASA as an engineer or scientists. Space have always fascinate me and finding planets would be cool. If space is not the option, I don't mind helping scientists to find alternate fuel sources for the Earth. Should I double major or pick one or another? Did anyone done this before?

Pick one, it would be pointless to double major. You might also want to focus on one of your dreams/goals because all three are on different tracks.

pick one, take some classes in the other if you're interested. biomedical should involved some mechanical if you're going the devices route. less so if you focus in biomolecular. mechanical will give you a broader background, but both will give you the engineering degree and skillset. take advantage of projects, research, and internships to help you decide. i've also found that many people take a class in a field they're interested in but end up hating the material or the related work.
