The nanites are only the medium for the Silver series, the real work is done by force fields and gravity manipulation with a side order of subspace pockets - all areas that Earth lags in, if I read things rightly. Puuling off the base-level pseudo-Venom maybe, but not beyond... then again, that's quite enough for, say, intelligence operatives or ship-board security, whee you don't want to go using weapons that threaten to damage the ships systems let alone being powerful enough to threaten the pressure hull. Doubling as a short-duration EVA suit is only a bonus, at that point (mainly limited by maneouvering difficulties and heat dissipation, I'd expect, unless a rebreather pack was not included as part of the standard fittings... and *I'd* ferdamnsure include one for any space-based personnel. With more environment controls and a manouvering pack, a self-sealing nanite suit makes good sense for EVA duty, espescially one that can also form tentacles or weave its own safety lines as needed.)
