Reusable heat shielding tiles are also very hard.

  Could it be easier compared to other rockets/shuttle since the space ship is made out of steel?

    It makes it a bit easier because as Elon mentioned the steel structure can get much hotter without it being an issue. This makes it easier to connect the tiles directly to the ship. However still the primary problem is still to have some surface that can handle the heat without deterioration over multiple flights.
