Apparently, he messed it up. He meant to say, "One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." If you think about it, this one makes far more sense. Maybe the excitement of stepping onto the moon got to him. Either that or he was thinking, 'Crap, I hope get off this rock.'
I see almost no difference. What he actually said is more of an abstract reference to his step, while the other is more specific.
