The return of the kaon

Kaon physics has played a tremendous role in the history of physics. In the past few decades, the beauty meson program has taken over as the main driving force for advancements in the field of flavor physics. A few recent results indicated a bright future for the kaon program. In this talk, I first review the history of kaons and then move on to discuss the present and future efforts, and how they can help us in understanding some of the open questions we are facing.
