No. Rockets are descending from orbital velocity (30,000mph) to terminal velocity (700mph). They have a tremendous amount of energy they have to get rid of as they come down which they do as heat. Baumgartner is taking a balloon up and then freefalling down. He's no where near orbital velocity so his energy expenditure will just be some air friction. He might get a teensy bit warm on the way down.
