Ancient bacteria that lives for 1/2 million years??

My post yesterday was about longevity. Coincidently todays news article that i came across highlighted that scientist have found ancient bacterias that are able to survive for half a million years! in harsh frozen climates and could possibly point to life on mars.

The bacteria has the ability to repair DNA genome degradation may be the key to prolonged or even everlasting life. This means that life's battery may be possible to be recharged! though it may not be possible in this lifetime but some time in the future perhaps, if the human race don't wipe out our own existence first that is.
