So the Falcon Heavy could lift 64 tons, but today it's lifted a fraction of that, and less than the Saturn V moon rocket did in the 70s?

Today the only payload was Elon Musk's car, one of Spacex's spacesuits and a device that contains information about humans and our achievements, today was mainly about testing. The overall goals are to make space travel cheaper (hence the landing of boosters and core for reuse) and ultimately to get humans to live on other planets.
