### An elementary {GIT} construction of the moduli space of stable maps

#### Abstract

This paper provides an elementary construction of the moduli space of stable maps $\overline{M}_{0,0}(\mathbb{P}^r,d)$ as a sequence of "weighted blow-ups along regular embeddings" of a projective variety. This is a corollary to a more general GIT construction of $\overline{M}_{0,n}(\mathbb{P}^r,d)$ that places stable maps, the Fulton-MacPherson space $\mathbb{P}^1[n]$, and curves $\overline{M}_{0,n}$ into a single context.
