Could you use a hot wire (120v 60 hz) from earth and a copper rod inserted into another extraterrestial body (mars) to complete a circuit? If impedance wasn't something to worry about (pretend Mars is only a mile away or something).

I've asked this before on other places and got some really conflicting answers.
