No no, there was an advanced Apollo applications program that got scrapped in favor of the shuttle. Skylab was a hamstrung example of it. There were some really interesting ideas, and even if there weren't wed at least be able to orbit our astronauts in an advanced version of a Saturn Ib / Apollo CSM rather then a Soyuz.
