I would agree with leaving NASA out of the name=* tag as we similarly don't name Fort Meade as ''United States Army Fort George G. Meade'' [0]. One exception to having NASA in the name is the headquarters building in downtown DC [1], but GSFC should probably have NASA removed from its name= field to be consistent with the others.

That is prominently noted in publications [2] and is already listed in OSM under the operator= tag [3]. Perhaps adding an owner= tag with NASA as the value can reflect the situation. Do note that the note= tag on the JPL way [3] also already details this information.
