I think there may have just been a whole buch of whoosh. In rapid succession. Which gives us:

Let them be manufactured in central Afrika. Out of locally grown organic combustible pink dildos.

Don't tell anybody, but to this day I have a faint hope for Futurecraft, or something similar to it, to happen. Within my lifetime.

make sure the construction team is composed of people speaking at least 10 languages collectively, but where no one speaks more than one language

I'll begin designs for a half biological spacecraft. I want something that reflects modern culture and society. Something that says something meaningful to people. What flashes through my mind is something similar to the ships of the Amar in EVE.
Image
I want to take it a step further though. I want the ship's main structure to be made out of human flesh. What do you think would happen if I connected the nervous systems of multiple people? Or several million? ^-^ I searched "biological spaceship" on google and found this.
Image
Beautiful. It'll be a few million people held together by a paste made from melted human skin. My theory is that if we give it a year in atmosphere and make sure everyone's mouths have access to clean oxygen, and are regularly fed and watered, eventually everyone will sort of grow together: Their nervous systems and with the help of an expensive team of a few hundred surgeons, so will their circulatory and respiratory systems. I don't know if one brain could handle a mile long spacecraft of biological functions so we may need to keep more than one after the growing together bit is done. Oh well. I was inspired by the flood egg bubble things from Halo so I think I'll remove the lungs and rebuild them in the form of big flesh bubbles that expand and deflate as the ship breathes.
Image
I'll grow some new bones for it as well so I can build cool stuff like these flood portholes.
Image
I'll connect the creature to a fusion engine. It will be kept warm by the excess heat from the reactor and it will breathe liquid oxygen which will be continuously pumped into it's bubble lungs. Not sure how to feed it yet though. Hopefully we discover alien life soon so that it can eat that.

Now hiring test subjects.You'll be paid 40 bucks an hour to be surgically conjoined with 4 other people for a month. I am now claiming to have cancer and putting up a kickstarter campaign to fund my recovery so I can pay you and conduct research.

AFAIK those portholes are a type of sphincter, and therefore muscle, not bone.

A combination of the two, surely.
