> SpaceX _pretends_ it can lift 63 tons

Falcon Heavy launched 6465 kg satellite to GTO, while landing all 3 boosters.

Yeah. 6400kg. 6.4 tons. Not 63. Nor the 26 they pretend they can do on GTO

Are you at all familiar with the payload scaling between different orbits and the payload penalty for reusability?
