Meal spot around one: starting point for a heavenly trip (6,4)

I believe the answer is:

launch site

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

'meal spot around one starting' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'point for a heavenly trip' is the wordplay.
'point' becomes 'site' (site is a kind of point).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'a heavenly trip' becomes 'launch' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'site' after 'launch' is 'LAUNCH SITE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for launch site that I've seen is " Cape Canaveral?".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
