Intents dont launch, only invocations.

When you test and utter the sample utterance, the skill wont launch. It only launches when invocation name is called. The Python space facts also do the same.
I have the exact same problem. In fact if worked for some time and I dont know what happened later.
I am beginner here. what's the difference between invocation and launch?
@chfw invoking a skill is the same thing as launching the skill.
@cnpants @srlodd the skill doesn't keep a session open after it tells you a fact, so you have to use the invocation name each time you want to use the skill. If you wanted to trigger an IntentRequest as opposed to a LaunchRequest, you'll need to include an utterance (e.g. give me a fact) with the inocation name (e.g. ask space facts to get me a fact). Alternatively, you could use .reprompt() to keep the session open, and then you could ask for a fact and trigger the GetNewFactIntent
