Sentences 1 - 3 are fine.
In 1, 2, and 3, the "that" clauses are noun clauses, serving as appositives to the noun just before them in the sentence (fact, idea, feeling).

Sentence 4 is quite awkward. It would be better phrased like this:
It is difficult to get the chance to be employed at the company.
1. The fact that he died suddenly is unbelievable.
2. I like the idea that people can live on Mars in the future.
3. I had the feeling that he was very nice.
4. It is difficult to get the chance that you can be employed at the company.

Are they all grammatical? Is the that clause a noun clause or an adjective clause?
