You will hear Apollo astronauts occasionally say “all balls” or “five balls.” After performing maneuvers, they would check their trajectory by taking fixes on stars using the telescope/sextant, this data would be fed into the guidance computer, which would compute their deviation from their intended course. If they were perfectly on their intended course, it would display a variation of 00000. “All balls.” Perfectly accurate.
