All of the 2 newly discovered planets beyond Saturn have long-term orbits which exceed the average life span and which may signify that we are moving towards longer life spans ourselves(or that the possibility is certainly there). In ancient times, the life span was about 29 years old, which is close to Saturn's orbit. Man can now live to 84, close to Uranus's orbit. What this all means is that we are moving towards an even higher number! Neptune with its 165-year orbit is certainly pointing towards this goal.

Result: 162 year old people
