Summary
Upon further review, the reason the photo should be restored is the following which is based on Wikipedia's Exemption Doctrine Policy, as found in (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Non-free_content)

a) added transformative value by explaining the importance of the photo in the captioning which conforms to the fair use clause of American copyright law

b) Images with iconic status or historical importance, Pete Conrad was one of the figures involved in the American space race. Since it has been at least half a century since the end of the era, not to many people would be too familiar with his likeness. Moreover, wikipedia serves as a repository for the world's shared cultural heritage.

c) Pictures of deceased persons, in articles about that person, provided that ever obtaining a free close substitute is not reasonably likely. (dead for a decade)

d)Other promotional material, the whole point of advertising is to spread the message of the product, which I did by providing the attribution of the image (American Express).
