The reason i ask is i read a article about monolithic domes being the most disaster proof houses in the world, and i was thinking that the aero-shell might have a hard time inflating in Mars low atmosphereic pressure and started to wonder of there was a way around the problem of the aero-shell not inflating.

An aero-shell would inflate very easily on Mars. There is just about no external pressure. By the way, there is no disaster on the surface. Even a 100 mph wind would feel like a breeze because the atmosphere is so thin. By the way, living on the surface is impractical. Because there's no magnetic filed, the radiation on the surface is deadly.

The low atmospheric pressure actually helps, as it would take less air by volume being pumped in to inflate it properly.
