Where should the crew compartment go?

On the engine, of course! Right above the HEALIZAIE and the FALT.

How does gravity effect this? Well, that's the good part. near the heat shield it pushes from front to back, but near the thrusters is pushes back to front cancelling it out.

The gravity cancels out, letting aerodynamic drag lift the rocket into space.

But don't forget to put the actual crew on the other side of the engine to the crew sections.
