Today, January 16, marks the 20th anniversary of a major turning point in space exploration and television. Instead of looking at Captain Kirk's saggy butt on our TV screens, we were gifted with the hottest space babes to ever explore the universe, with the premiere of Star Trek: Voyager.

As you may or may not be aware, Captain Janeway, AKA actress Kate Mulgrew, is hot. You may also be aware that Jeri Ryan is hot. The same can be said for Roxann Dawson and Jennifer Lien.

KEKB listeners were asked to vote for the Star Trek: Voyager character they felt was the hottest. The results:

  • Captain Janeway: 56.05%
  • Jeri Ryan: 36.92
  • Roxann Dawson: 4.56

(Note: Jennifer Lien was not included in the vote.)

That's 20 years of incredibly hot woman exploring space. In the past, all we ever had was Kirk's green-slave-woman-of-the-week to look at.

Of course, in addition to all the hotness going around with Voyager, there were some pretty decent stories, too.

We salute you, Star Trek: Voyager. Thank you for 20 great years of extreme hotness, and some enjoyable plots and character development, too.
