Shuttle breaks with it (9)
I believe the answer is:
spaceship
'shuttle' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'breaks with it' is the wordplay.
'breaks' becomes 'spaces' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'with it' becomes 'hip' (both can mean cool or fashionable).
'spaces'+'hip'='SPACESHIP'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spaceship that I've seen before include "Interplanetary craft" , "Craft to travel outside the Earth's atmosphere" , "long-distance traveller?" , "long-distance vessel" , "Transport that's out of this world" .)
