When Neil Armstrong stepped off the footpad of the Lunar Module "Eagle", he said; "That's one small step for a man - one giant leap for mankind."

He was contrasting the action of one person - himself - with what had effectively been achieved by the whole of humanity.

There is some doubt as to whether he actually said "a man" or "man", but the meaning behind the statement is clear.
