After 25 years of its existence, inflationary theory gradually becomes thestandard cosmological paradigm. However, we still do not know which of the manyversions of inflationary cosmology will be favored by the future observationaldata. Moreover, it may be quite nontrivial to obtain a natural realization ofinflationary theory in the context of the ever changing theory of allfundamental interactions. In this paper I will describe the history and thepresent status of inflationary cosmology, including recent attempts toimplement inflation in the context of string theory.Comment: 40 pages, 9 figures, an extended version of my talks at the SLAC Summer School "Nature's Greatest Puzzles," at the conference Cosmo04 in Toronto, at the VI Mexican School on Gravitation, and at the XXII Texas Symposium on Relativistic Astrophysics in 200
