  Although Majorana platforms are promising avenues to realizing topological
quantum computing, they are still susceptible to errors from thermal noise and
other sources. We show that the error rate of Majorana qubits can be
drastically reduced using a 1D repetition code. The success of the code is due
the imbalance between the phase error rate and the flip error rate. We
demonstrate how a repetition code can be naturally constructed from segments of
Majorana nanowires. We find the optimal lifetime may be extended from a
millisecond to over one second.
