This entire song is a denouncement of our society and how we're its going to fall hard from the mistakes and shit we've done. The song denounces corporate culture, consumerism, wanton capitalism, selfishness, greed, and the widespread disinformation and lying from political leaders and the media. The song leads into 'let it rain' where Dan describes how society will inevitably fall of society because of our terrible mistakes.

For above, the 'one small step for man, maybe this time i'll fly' is a pronouncement of how society needs to progress much more. If society fails in its quest to progress and treat everything better than it will die, but everything dies and at least we tried.
