One idea is to ask the question; where do I want the spaceship to be at
time t? Then calculate the velocity vector and force magnitude to get
there. Now, by a wonderful coincidence there's a solution to this in the
ODE Wiki FAQ. I don't have internet access at the moment, so I can't
point you to the page, but start from www.ode.org and have a poke
around.
