I am an undergrad. I like computer science, mathematics, and astrophysics/astronomy. I want to major in computer science and possibly math also (a double major). If I get tired of school and decide that I want to go ahead and graduate with my b.s. in cs/ma, then can I come back later and get a minor in atrophysics/astronomy?

Once you graduate, you can't go back and modify that degree with a minor. You could go back and take classes as a concurrent student (usually done through the Extension program of a state university), or in a school with open enrollment, just take extra classes. But, once you graduate, your degree is done.
You can, however, go for a second B.S. If you graduate in CS, it's not likely you'd get into grad school in astro, unless you have a really good record in required courses.

Sure. Why not? In fact, this is how it's usually done. You get an undergrad degree then go back to get your gradutate degree. Some people work for a few yrs. Some people go straight to grad school. It's no big deal which path you take. It's just preference.
