You'd probably need a modified protocol for interplanetary distances, the lightspeed delay would probably cause timeouts and other problems with the usual approach.
A more realistic application might be if there's a way to get the signal up to a Starlink satellite or similar low-Earth-orbit relay. Cloud cover might be a problem for that though.
