Hurry twice, in different directions, to reach interplanetary region (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
deep space
'region' is the definition.
(deep space is a kind of region)
'hurry twice in different directions to reach interplanetary' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'directions' could be 'ee' (the abbreviation for east written twice) and 'ee' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for deep space that I've seen before include "even devoid of 12 [THIN AIR]" , "Region beyond our atmosphere" , "void" .)
