Would such huge schemes such as Space Exploration be feesable. How could it be done? Could it be done?

Most likely not, your society has no drive, no competition. IN your society there is no reason space exploration would be possibe. A more realistic society would be one of the trekkies, were there only goal is to better oneself. I like the idea of your society, but it creates to much dead wieght. However, there are those who strive to reach the stars, but without the support of a whole nation i don't see it being possible.
It will be intresting to see, we as a society are on the verge of space travel, Long distance space travel. In the next 30yrs, if there are no more major conflicts, we will have created the technology to explore the universe. Of course there is always the chance of major world confict resulting in the loss of determination to reach the starts, you'd be more concerned in making sure you and your kin were alive.
