“We are all going to die, one day, of course. When I look in the mirror, I see those little spots on my face and say wow that’s my expiration date is coming close really soon,” Tyson said.
McFarland, who has a better understanding of this psychology, faced the question of ‘death’ next.
He did not react much. Staying cool, Sean responded, “I don’t worry about it.”
Then later on he detailed, “I’m not sweating it. I just want to die consciously. I don’t want to die screaming and I’ve heard the last rides of a lot of people, a lot of famous people, and they’re getting ready to die and they leave this planet screaming.”
