Now THAT'S a way to send a message to your ex! Divorcee launches her wedding ring to space in a rocket



A woman took to space to give her ex-husband a clear message that their marriage was over.

Rebecca Gibbs launched a homemade rocket and stored her wedding ring inside, sending the final trace of her four-year marriage out of the earth's atmosphere.divorcee



'It was uplifting, liberating, and it was really supposed to be a positive step which it was,' she said.

'It was also a lot of fun blasting a rocket into the sky.'

Ms Gibbs lived in England when she married Stephen Page, but since their marriage derailed, and has since moved back to her native New Zealand.

She told local news site Stuff that while she was able to give away her wedding dress and get rid of excess baggage, the one thing that she needed to take time to part with was her ring.

At the suggestion of her current partner, who is a rocket scientist, she decided to make a rocket and film the blast off.

Before the video was taken down from YouTube, it showed Ms Gibbs painting her creation, adorning it with flames and a picture of a heart broken in two.

More than anything she hoped that the launch would give a clear signal to her ex, who had supposedly been emailing her repeatedly asking to get back together.

'While it was for me, it was also for him, to let him know it was completely over,' she told the site.
