IIRC there were studies done to see if an Apollo capsule could land on dry land like Starliner. IE: using airbags.

It is interesting to think about how Apollo would be optimized for LEO missions. There was actually one or two CSMs built to hand crews of five for Skylab rescue missions, but they never flew. It’s likely the CSM would be cut down in size, and maybe switch from fuel cells to solar panels, or just use batteries for the transit to space stations like some early Baseduzes did
