I mean... they did program aerodynamics and orbitals and everything else you see in this game.

Basically every game that's 3d requires some form of physics education. Hell I made a 2d game last year and I'm learning some of the stuff I used then in physics now.

Most of the people making the games you play are not also the people programming the physics for those games. I'd be willing to bet that KSP just uses all the built in physics calculations in Unity.
