I assume you're referring to the words spoken by Neil Armstrong when he first set foot on the Moon: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." In this context, the "one giant leap" was Man's first venture away from his home planet.

"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind "- Neil Armstrong He stepped from the last rung of the ladder onto the surface of the moon and a giant leap in history as the first person to step onto the moon's surface

what step was he referring to
It means that even though it was Neil Armstrong taking the step, it was for all mankind.
The actual words Neil said were " That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" he was supposed to say " That's one small step a for man, one giant leap for mankind" but who cares, everybody knows what he meant.
