If you read near the end of the article, they say that SpaceX is going to launch a Falcon Heavy in November as a test. But additionally they are going to try to land all three boosters. The two side boosters on land and the middle booster on the drone ship(because it will be going a lot faster)

Here is a simulation(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ca6x4QbpoM). I have probably watch this video 20+ times just amazing.
