I wonder if you could stored data for that long by encoding it into some junk DNA?

  Junk DNA actually changes a whole lot because there's little or no evolutionary downside to mutations there.

    That's a good point. I had assumed that since There's no evolutionary pressure it wouldn't be forced into changing as much as active DNA is. You could encode it to multiple areas that must be checked against each other.

  That idea has received a number of scifi treatments. One example: http://www.fourmilab.ch/documents/sftriple/gpic.html http://www.fourmilab.ch/documents/sftriple/gpic.html
