Not trying to be snarky since it’s not a book but Scott Manley on YouTube is excellent at explaining things and has many videos that explain basic concepts like orbital mechanics, staging, ground support, everything really. He’s also a great story teller with many space history stories as well, and he’s always good at explaining the scientific context and why innovations were so important for their time. This man alone took my space enthusiasm to the next level.
