An introduction influences the way a reader will underst and a paper's contents by hinting at a paper’s purpose and content\, pro viding context for understanding the writer’s train of thought\, and est ablishing relationships between ideas that are forthcoming. A strong intro duction will pique a reader's interest and make them eager to read your pa per.

Fo r her\, this event seemed like the high point in a life spent chasing the Moon\, from a childhood inspired by the space race of the 1960s to an adul thood spent in contemplation and conversation with the sky. In Going to th e Moon\, Ashton marvels at the Moon’s powerful influence since the dawn of humanity—how we have\, in our own ways\, gone to the Moon\, and what we have found. Contemplating lunar settlement in the light of history\, cu lture\, the rise of the space industry\, and geopolitical conflict\, Ashto n shares her sense of wonder at the simple beauty of our unchanged Moon an d reveals what is at stake in our contemporary attempts to colonize it.\n\ nThis event is free and open to the public.
