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.

How does the moon effect agriculture?

The moon affects agriculture primarily through its gravitational pull, which influences tides and soil moisture.

For example, planting during a waxing moon is thought to enhance seed germination and plant vigor. Additionally, the moon's light can impact pest activity and plant health, further guiding agricultural practices.
