    Have you ever wondered what it takes to become an astronaut? Mathematical thinking and reasoning will help you stand out from the crowd when tackling ‘out of this world’ problems, but how do we truly develop and implement this style of thinking throughout our everyday lives? Join Jackie, mathematician and theoretical physics graduate of the University of Liverpool, as she takes us on a journey through her unique experience as a candidate on the BBC documentary series Astronauts: Do You Have What It Takes? and shows us how we too can put our own maths skills to the test!
