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 remember watching something on the history channel or PBS or something that said they figured Armstrong actually did say "step for a man" but due to the crappy radio transmissions, it didn't receive properly. I guess its all assumption anyways though.
