I personally have no problem if it was a different photo but lets look at some theoretical objections to the one you provided.
An astronaut? Some would see that as classicist. Blue and Orange? This impacts people with deuteranomaly and protanomaly color blindness. NASA? They are a capitalist space program that hired Nazis after WWII. A woman? Sitting? A person of color? Rectangular dimensions? ect... ect...
These are, of course, completely absurd objections. But someone somewhere would complain about your choice as firmly as you complain about the Lenna photo. And would you think their objections are as absurd as some think your objections are? Probably.
Standards are standards because they provide a solid reference that everyone can use and they should, by definition, be resistant to change. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
BUT if we do change it, I vote for a cute cat photo. https://www.photos-public-domain.com/2018/04/26/cat-with-blue-eyes/ https://www.photos-public-domain.com/2018/04/26/cat-with-blu...
