Thats enough to put a fully loaded Abrahams tank (with crew) into orbit…

Being a fan of railways, I tend to compare to electric locomotives. The heaviest Vectrons are about 90 tons, and they would fit into the payload bay:

Now that would be high-speed rail.

I think a steam locomotive would be even cooler - first steps to Galaxy Express. ;-)

For example 2 of the legendary JGR Class 8620 (nicknamed hachiroku) Japanese steam locomotives could be comfortably launched to orbit in 90 tons. :)

Why not a whale to make the Douglas Adams trope a reality?

Not again...

I've never taken a whale somewhere so far.

It's an Abrams tank.

An Abrahams tank would be one designed to carry the Holy Hand Grenade.

Looking at the recent world developments, we seem to be in the stage of Abrahamic missiles already.
