Is the cartographer expedition worth trying for a newbie? (kbin.social)

I'm still pretty new to the game. I've tried two of the expeditions—Utopia this month and I believe Singularity earlier this year—but didn't make it very far through either (via a combination of not starting them early enough and, for Singularity, barely knowing how to play the game). I don't have a lot of time over the holiday this year and I'm still trying to decide if I should attempt Cartographer or not. I probably wouldn't be able to start it until after Christmas if I do—is it doable in just a few days?

If there was a story to this one I completely missed it. Just felt like a list of tasks.

Yeah, this one just had you stranded with a hard to repair ship. In Utopia, you were supposed to be building up the Utopia system. Singularity you were deciding the direction of an artificial lifeform.

Compared to Singularity, I can't think of any "story" in this one. Except maybe why the cocaine bears are so angry. Certainly nothing explicit.

Granted, NMS isn't much of a story game.
