Which is correct - "looks at back at missions" or "looks back at missions"?
"Look back at something" means "to reminisce about something that happened in the past", which is exactly what Nature is doing. So my guess is that the first "at" in the phrase "looks at back at missions" is a typo. Am I on the right track?
