"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." It's correct as spoken/written. The "...one small step for man,..." refers to genus man which includes the male and female of the species. The only problem here is that problem with the politically correct crowd and I say, "screw 'em."

That's how I always understood it. With the "a" the meaning is totally changed - less profound in my opinion.
