Space faring microbes (panspermia)

Other thing to consider:
DNA has a natural half-life, and after a few million years it would be unusable to any organism.
So how would asteroids traveling for millions of years deliver healthy microbes?

@Nigel

so to you and 50gens, life can evolve a way to hibernate for thousands if not millions of years (somehow), but it cant evolve traits beforehand to get out of said hibernation?

They could be able to slowly multiply over millions of years, preserving the DNA, and via that evolution mutate to have stronger DNA with a longer half-life.
