Why would the existence of lightning elsewhere matter? It is the random nature of lightning that makes it dangerous, regardless of location. Unless you know exactly where lightning is going to strike it remains a danger, no? Would you not agree that the dangers of interstellar travel are different than the dangers of terrestrial flight and that each unique atmosphere would pose unique challenges to be consider?
