Actually, if you continue your math studies to the PhD level (with a scientific bent) and add some aviation experience, becoming an astronaut becomes quite possible.

Concentrate on the math studies; take a few flying lessons if you can find the time and money. Right now you don't know if you'll like either one. Assuming you still like both, get the (bachelor) degree first, then start figuring out a career path. One thing to note is that a math degree isn't the route to fame and fortune; you'll likely need the PhD as noted above.
