I just asked a NASA Scientist a Question.

And it went something like this.....

Hi!

First off, i would like to say that you guys, officially, have the coolest job around.
I mean come on, your job title reads, "NASA scientist".
You've made it. =)

Anyways, jokes aside, I am Priscilla Lim.
A 16 year old student from Singapore (aka the Little Red Dot) taking the Cambridge GCE O Levels in exactly..... 50-something days...
And i have a question for you.

Does electromagnetism have an effect on ions?

Okay, the problem is, i don't read physics. I study pure Biology and pure Chemistry at the GCE O Level standard.
So.... pardon my ignorance.

I am actually asking this because, last night i read an article from the National Geographic magazine and it was about water.
Or more specifically, The need for Freshwater.
The article went on to talk about how the earth does not have not enough water, just not enough clean water.
So this kinda got me thinking on the ways in which we could economically extract pure water from seawater.

Thanks a lot for your time and i hope you get to read this because i am earnest about learning!

Yours sincerely,
Priscilla Lim.

Pretty cool huh?
Apparently there are Q&A sites with NASA scientists (i think it's sorta like charity or CIP for them.. haha) and you can just email them questions.
How exciting!
I hope they get to read my question.
