You're welcome.
If you would like to learn a bit more about this kinda thing and the engineering behind spacecraft I can recommend a couple of good books:
How Spacecraft Fly: Spaceflight Without Formulae is a good intro.
If you are looking for a bit more Spacecraft Systems Engineering goes into more detail but requires some understanding of calculus. For both Google can be your friend for finding sources.
Flick through even just the first one and you'll gain a new perspective when playing KSP on what everything does and why it is needed!
Impressive work. I've liked books such as Spacecraft Systems Engineering(Fortescue etc.) for example but they are not exactly easily accessible or cheap and can be of a limited scope. There's certainly a need for a broader online source!
I know, I know, I'm a grumpy old man but in my defense I was always grumpy.
Ok the best place to start is always the bible of rocket science
https://www.amazon.com/Rocket-Propulsion-Elements-George-Sutton/dp/0470080248
also this is a great book about overall design

Other than rocket engines and structures it would be

https://www.amazon.com/Fundamentals-Astrodynamics-Dover-Aeronautical-Engineering/dp/0486600610/ref=pd_sim_14_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=0486600610&pd_rd_r=NV7BKDVSN225K69DY2JR&pd_rd_w=m3KtM&pd_rd_wg=XqmQL&psc=1&refRID=NV7BKDVSN225K69DY2JR
After reading that book cover to cover you can branch into multiple aspects of aerospace engineering.
There are also less formal and fun books like https://www.amazon.de/Ignition-informal-history-liquid-propellants/dp/0813507251
or
