I vaguely remember seeing a movie years ago that was set, at least in part, in outer space and involved a spaceship which required someone to stick their hands into some kind of (green?) gooey substance in order to be piloted. I believe it was a movie geared toward young audiences, but I am drawing a total blank. Does anyone else remember this spacecraft or the movie it came from?
Tommyknockers?

The TV series Falling Skies also had a spaceship like that.
