What planet did the vigor space probe crash in to?

As far as we know, Vigor hasn't crashed into any planet. That's because it never existed - the story about it is an urban legend. In the story, it was intended to go to Venus, but due to a "small" programming error, it missed Venus entirely and "wandered off into space" - AWOL. No one knows where it is now. In reality, Vigor never existed. The story seems to be a confused version of the fate of the Mars Climate Orbiter, which did indeed crash into Mars due to a programming error.
