Before you can add some shadows you first need a light in your scene. Go to scene mode, go build> add light. You can choose between three types of light: infinite (like the sun), local (like the lighting in a footballstadium) and spot (like a normal lamp). Your scene will do with a infinite one.
Light in space only has one source: the star which the closest to the object. In case of our solar system: the sun. This will make the light go straight and will not come from several directions. As you can see here on this picture:


To add shadows, first double click on the objects you have in your scene. You will have two options: cast or receive shadows. You can check/uncheck those who apply. Then double click on the light you added. Go advanced> cast shadows> raytrace.

Good textures can be found on the web, most of the time for free. A good texture site is: http://www.cgtextures.com/

Good luck and make sure you post the result here! ^^

It is certainly true that shadows tend to be fully black in space, but the nearby planet will also serve as a somewhat dimmer light source, reflecting the Sun's light (or whatever star this planet orbits).  A strong, white infinite light, with hard edged raytraced shadows set to 100% and angled to match the apparent illumination of the background planet, will do for the star, and a second, much softer light coming from the direction of the planet will provide a bit of fill.  Be sure to also set this light's shadows to 100%, but they should also be set to soft.

Note:  if you set up the lights as mentioned above, be aware that from this camera angle much of the station should be in silhouette.  The planet is clearly being illuminated by a star above and to the right of the screen, and (importantly) coming from slightly behind the planet (into the screen).  Great work, though, looking forward to seeing more.  Well done!
