What will President Kerry do with NASA? My guess is that
he will want to dump the Bush Moon/Mars plans ASAP, but
will he be able to stop CEV and the end of Shuttle?

That's the assumption, though many people thought that Clinton would
cancel
the space station in 1993 and he did not.

My guess is that we would probably see the end of Americans in space
under a
Kerry administration, sooner or later.
I dont think he would have means to stop X-Prize or Space Adventures.
Americans could still go to space.

Don't be too sure about that. I do not think Kerry would exert himself too
much to pass regulatory or tax incentives for private space travel. Also, he
is quite capable of forbidding travel to the Moon or Mars out of
environmental reasons.
