Space Debris is correct. Did you make an edit? 'Cause it wasn't there when I read it the first time...

Yes I did but it was a guess- care to explain?

You already got space. end up = ends with and rubbish is synonymous with debris.

Aren't synonyms usually part of the clues? Perhaps I made a mistake (still new at this). Care to share how you would've added the clue for debris? Perhaps I should've made it like this:

The some spouses part was in keeping with a cryptic clue definition, as was ace for one, but the *end* part implies aim or arrive (end) reversed, and no part suggests debris ( as in e.g an anagram of sir bed ) - it was only becaue we were theming that I took a wild guess at it, this is in no way detracting from your efforts Kind regards Pete Kane ( pkfox )

I see... I didn't know end was used for these purposes, it was suppose to be a clue that the following word is the last word of the solution. Anyways thanks for taking the time to explain it!
