Man's man perhaps is on spacecraft (8)

I believe the answer is:

islander

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'man's man' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'is on spacecraft' is the wordplay.
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'spacecraft' becomes 'lander' (eg a moon lander).
'is'+'lander'='ISLANDER'

'perhaps' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for islander that I've seen before include "I snarled at one surrounded by water" , "Isolated dweller" , "Sicilian, e.g." , "End rails (anag)" , "Inhabitant of Man, for example" .)
