Should NASA's name be changed? CNN hints at it...

"With NASA under orders to fix its safety culture in the wake of the Columbia tragedy, industrial psychologists and management wizards say extreme measures may be needed: a purge at the top, the return of Apollo-era decision-makers, more businesslike behavior, possibly even a new name."
Would our civilian space program become less arrogant and hostile to competition from private entrepreneurs if its name-related inertia was removed? Wouldn't it be easier to reform the socialist bureaucracy after such a name change has been made?
