This card doesn't do either; you still cannot perform actions or red maneuvers while stressed.

This card lets you perform a red maneuver, and then perform your action before you receive the stress from the red maneuver (normally you receive stress first, then hit the Perform Action step). You can view the timing of these steps on the Phases / Order of Gameplay page.

Likewise, because debris clouds assign the stress after Check Pilot Stress, you could perform your action before receiving the debris stress if you plowed through a cloud. However, asteroids force you to skip your check pilot stress step altogether, and this card doesn't prevent that.

If you are stressed at the time of the Perform Action step for other reasons (e.g. hitting a bomb and receiving ), this card doesn't get around that so you won't be able to perform your action.

I hope that helps.
