There are a few incarnations of that. In the 60s, 'Man' was understood to be 'mankind'... but in the 90s... people got all pissed off about that word. So Patrick Stewart in the Next Generation is heard saying an altered version. Also the mission went way longer than 5 years, so they changed that too.
It was:
Space...the Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.
It is now:
Space...the Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Her continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, and to boldly go where no one has gone before.
(It is interesting to note that the exploration of strange new worlds was not the typical mission of the Enterprise in the Next Generation series, Enterprise being the flagship of the Federation, most of what they did was political in nature - by my personal estimate, only 1 out of 5 TNG episodes involved a non-federation planet or previously unknown species, although I think the invention of the Borg makes up for that.)
There have been minor tweaks in the movies and the tagline is not used in the DS9 and Voyager spin-offs. I don't think it was used in Enterprise either, being replaced by a theme song with lyrics.

In the original series, William Shatner (Kirk) does the voice-over: "Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: To explore strange new worlds. To seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no man has gone before."
In The Next Generation, Patrick Stewart (Picard) does the voice-over, and there are a couple of changes (in [brackets]): "Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its [continuing] mission: To explore strange new worlds. To seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no [one] has gone before."

the same thing is said for next generation - except it leaves out the words "five-year"
