Sad to see the loss of those two Amateur Radio Cubesats,
PreSat
http://www.amsat.org.uk/iaru/formal_detail.asp?serial=120
and
NanoSail-D.

I'm sure we'll see many more launch failures before Falcon eventually provides a reliable service it's the nature of space flight.
Even 'reliable' launchers can still have a 1 in 10 failure rate.
