Factuality Level: 7
Factuality Justification: The article provides accurate and objective information about SpaceX’s plans for the Fram2 mission, including details on the crew members, mission objectives, and previous private astronaut missions.

Additionally, some parts of the article seem to be repetitive or redundant.
