	I would  certainly  agree  that the phrase  "no joy"  comes from
	military jargon.  I've heard the phrase quite often when issuing
	traffic, both for avoidance and intercepts, to military (usually
	fighter/recky)  pilots.  If they don't see the traffic  that has
	been  issued  they say "no joy".  On the other hand, if they see
	the traffic they often respond with,  "tallyho".  As for how and
	in what context the  astronauts  use the phrase "no joy" I'm not
	certain.
