Those insulated towers containing lightning arrestors now surround every launch pad and rocket. Yet they are a recent phenomenon. Past launches, going back to the beginning of rocketry, did not have them. Why the change? If lightning wasn't considered a great danger in the past then why is it considered a great danger now?

news  Why the change? If lightning wasn't considered a great danger in the past then why is it considered a great danger now? Probably because the micro-circuitry of today is a lot more sensitive to electrical surges than in years past. The vacuum-tube and early transistor eras were considered "ironclad" by today's standards.
