What is escape velocity? How high does the Space Shuttle orbit? How much time until launch? How many flight hours do I have to have to qualify? How cold is it outside the earth's atmosphere? What is a g force? How much thrust should the booster rockets have? What is the earth's diameter? How faraway is Mars?

It's all math!

Adding on to all of that, astronauts on Apollo 13 had to figure a lot out, like When do you fire the ship's thrusters, and for how long, and in what direction, in order to be able to return to Earth safely? Math is a big part in being an astronaut. When your computer crashes (like on Apollo 13) you need to figure out math problems by hand.
