I really hate it when your tower floats away to Mars... Let alone 
Jupiter....

Why would anyone want to "ground" a tower thru cement?
If the cement is "wet", lightning will conduct thru it, blow it to bits if 
it's a large strike, and your tower will float away to Jupiter.
If the cement is "dry", lightning will see it as just a little lossy 
insulator, blow it to bits if it's a large strike, and your tower will float 
away to Mars.
Your only hope is not to use cement..., and hope it stays in Earth.
