Based on what? What evidence do you have that it was made up?
Based on many things but one that is in your face is the time it took him to get to 128,000 feet into what the pressure gauge showed us was so near to a vacuum as to be classed as one.
He took a few hours to reach his supposed height before supposedly free falling. He landed approx 73 miles away from the launch site.
If the Earth spins at over 1000 mph and we simply give benefit of doubts to time taken for height achievement and say it took 1 hour, then a simple bit of maths tells us he should have landed more than 73 miles away from launch.
Also, a supposed drop of over 800 mph to then arrest his fall with a drogue parachute before opening a main one to then land smoothly from that speed?...really?
Imagine a deep sea diver rising that fast out of the water but in this case Baumgartner in his pressurised suit and air tanks, just dropping from near zero to atmospheric sea level in less than 5 minutes.
