that would depend on quite a few things such as(but not limited to) the amount of fuel stored in the cell, ability to transpire gaseous oxygen, waste tolerance, temerature tolerances, metabolism and so on. if you give us a list of cells then we could better answer your question

someone sneezed on something that ended up on the moon or something, i think it was either analysed there or taken back as a sample, im not too sure on the details but the common cold survived 3 years in a total vacuum and tremendous radiation and then continued multiplying when conditions became favourable.

Red blood cells (erythrocytes) aren't 'alive' to begin with. Unlike the other cells in the list, they have no DNA, no nucleus and no metabolism.
