If a man has a mass of 100kg on earth what will his mass on the moon be?

The question is ill-posed. Weight is mesured in Newtons (N) as it's a force, it's mass is measured in kg. There are ctually two questions mixed together here. Let's answer both: 1) If an astronaut has a mass of 100kg on earth what is his mass on the moon? 100kg - put him on a frictionless surface and try and accelerate him, it's just has hard on the moon as on earth (or anywhere else for that matter). 2) If an astronaut weighs 981N on the surface of the earth (as an astronaut of mass 100kg would) how much does he weigh on the moon? Surface gravity on the earth is 9.81m/s/s which is how we end up with the 100kg astronaut weighing 981N. On the moon surface gravity is only 1.62m/s/s so the same astronaut would weigh 162N - about 1 sixth that on earth.

How does leaving earth affect the human body?

you may feel muscels soreness pain on weak bones. You will feel space motion sickness like you would get sick on a boat. And also radiation because you will be pretty close to the sun thats why they made space suits for all of us. when your in orbit for a long time things will happen to your body you will lose whight lose muscle and they have developed cancer once they come back we dont know why. So being weight less has a long term effect. So if your ill and you go to which will never happen they will never let a sick person go in to space.Because you will get worse. So going to space unhealthy is pretty bad.

How will astronauts get the the space station after the shuttle retire?

They will have to hitch a ride with the Russians on a Soyuz or with the Chinese on a Shenzou. It is a very ill advised move to abandon the shuttle program without a back-up.
